Man o' War (horse) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Man o' War
Man o' War, (Lexington, Kentucky, March 29, 1917 – Nursery Stud, November 1, 1947) is considered one of the greatest Thoroughbred race horses of all time.〔.〕 During his career just after World War I, he won 20 of 21 races and $249,465 in purses.〔.〕 Man o' War was foaled at Nursery Stud near Lexington, Kentucky. He was sired by the prominent Fair Play. His dam, Mahubah, was sired by U.K. Triple Crown Champion Rock Sand. Man o' War was owned and bred by August Belmont, Jr. (1851–1924), whose father's accomplishments were recognized through the naming of the Belmont Stakes. Belmont Jr. joined the United States Army at age 65 to serve in France during World War I. While he was overseas, his wife named a new foal "Man o' War" in honor of her husband.〔.〕 However, the Belmonts decided to liquidate their racing stable. At the Saratoga yearling sale in 1918, Man o' War was sold at a final bid of $5,000 (equivalent to $,000 in ) to Samuel D. Riddle, who brought him to his Glen Riddle Farm near Berlin, Maryland. The underbidder at the auction was believed to be Robert L. Gerry, Sr.〔http://www.eclipsepress.com/mediaroom/pdf/SireLines_ex.pdf〕 ==Racing career==
